It doesn't really bother us. They gotta give good reasons to their fans why they've been losing to us this year.
I think maybe we looked too much for the tie. But give them credit, they bounced back. From being up two goals, then losing that lead and still finding a way to win.
You lose a couple games and you think it's bad luck and it'll come back, but with such a long losing streak, it made us take a look at everything again and make sure we make the adjustments before the playoffs. I really meant it when I said this will make us a better team.
We definitely feel like we let Brian and Scott down. We weren't sharp. The puck was bouncing. We were losing control. We weren't executing like we usually do.
Having such a long losing streak, it made us take a look at everything and make sure we made the adjustments. Hopefully, we realize that. I really meant it when I said, 'This is going to make us a better team.
I have no problem looking at the standings when we walk in the door. But before making comments like that you should look at yourself in the mirror and look where you're standing and why you're losing all those games.
We believe we have good enough speed to take advantage of teams with the new rules,
With the referees coming into the room before the game and explaining the rules,
It fired up our will when we heard things like the more the series went on, the tougher it would go for us. Those were just motivation points for us.
I think it went well. I saw the doctors again this morning and they both told me that it looked good. Right now it's a tough time, but at the same time I'm on the upswing. It's recovery time. And I'm happy we finally found out what was wrong and I can look forward to coming back on the ice.
I'm still far away from coming back. I can't really push off yet or take off in a hurry. Pivoting gives me a hard time still. But it's just fun to be back around the guys and having the chance to skate with them a little bit.
I saw Jochen coming down the side board, I was on the inside and I slid back door and realized nobody took me. When I saw he had the step on the guy, I was hoping he'd see me. When it (the pass) came my eyes were pretty big.
I thought we gained a lot of experience. I was surprised by how we kept our composure.
I think we're sitting in a good position. I don't think we have a team right now to win the Stanley Cup, to be honest with you, but we have a lot of room under the salary cap, and we can make some moves.
